Slapton Sands

Overview

Top site for pubs

Top site for beaches

Great site for couples

A family site with seaviews and sandy and shingle beaches within walking distance.

Our Slapton Sands Club campsite has all the ingredients for the perfect family beach holiday. Located on the stunning South Devon Heritage Coast, our Slapton Sands campsite commands a quiet, rural setting. Lined by trees and flanked by rolling countryside, this is the place to sit back and enjoy the views - some pitches enjoy fabulous views over the bay.

The campsite is level and well set out with some hardstandings and plenty of grass pitches. There is a children’s play area, a parent and child room, washing up facilities and a short dog walk and the small on-site shop provides the basics.

Off-site there are plenty of coastal walks to enjoy including to Beesands and Hallsands. Slapton beach is a few minutes’ walk from the campsite. The shingle beach and clean, calm sea are ideal for families (dogs are welcome too) and water sport enthusiasts can enjoy surfing, windsurfing and canoeing.

The freshwater lagoon Slapton Ley is separated from the sea by Slapton beach and is set within a National Nature Reserve. The area is teeming with bird and wildlife. There are many walks and trails around the reserve.

To the north of Slapton Sands, the Blue Flag Award-winning Blackpool Sands awaits. Backed byevergreens and scented pines, this stretch of golden sands has a real mediterranean feel.

A bus stop a quarter of a mile from the campsite is on routes to Plymouth, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth. The latter is a wonderful medieval town with a lovely harbour, perfect for crabbing, and a castle.

Ideal for a walk to Torcross to feed the ducks and swans, one way alongside the Ley and back along the beach. Slapton Sands ideal for walks, relaxing and fishing or nearby Blackpool Sands ideal for families. Dartmouth worth a trip for a leisurely walk along the waterfront, we used our bus passes as the road from Slapton to Dartmouth is very narrow so saves on extra congestion.

We had a lovely relaxing week of walking.

We had a lovely relaxing week of walking. Dogs loved the beach, a mixture of sand and shingle that stretches for miles!
Lots of footpaths including South West coastal path giving loads of opportunity to get out and enjoy the countryside.
Two fantastic pubs in Slapton [5 minutes walk from the site]. The Queens - friendly staff and locals, good choice of real ale and good food. The Tower Inn - again friendly atmosphere, good real ale, food more restaurant quality and slightly more expensive but excellent.
Good village shop for all those essentials.
Relaxed site wardens - helpful and friendly but not constantly cutting grass or policing the site - unusual these days!
What more could anyone ask for...........

Toilets were immaculate. Managers helpful.

Toilets were immaculate. Managers helpful. We visited 2 local pubs and recommend the Queens Arms for good food and menu. Take a torch for the short walk to the village. A very enjoyable weekend stay away from it all.

We really enjoyed our 4 nights here, actually we had only booked for 3 but decided to stay the extra night. Love the proximity to the beach, the amazing views, the flashing Start Point lighthouse at night, the dark skies and the proximity to 3 pretty fab pubs ... 2 in the village and the Start Bay Inn on the front at Torcross a short cycle or bit longer walk away. A great welcome and very accommodating and helpful staff ... as I say in the summary our only criticism relates to the fact that there are lots of washbasin cubicles and a good number of toilets but only 3 showers which can mean a bit of a wait in line ... apparently it's common feedback but it would be great if the area managers would take it on board and convert some of the basin cubicles to showers. Have a great stay :-)
